Good interview, quite revealing - wish it was longer though with more quotes from her. Some stuff shes mentioned, like the drinking and the partition role, sounds like stuff people talked about on the forums - wonder whether people are like that around her or she's actually read the forums or something =\

Very good read though, hopefully she does more like this that provide new info rather than ask her the same things.

Apparently she was this 'outcast' in school, where she wasn't liked much or had many friends. Knowing that it's pretty understandable that she's this insecure, shy person. Being that insecure I can also understand why she was wandering around with "baggy clothes hiding", that's what insecure left outs (with eating disorder tendency) do. The silly part is when she tries to 'excuse' or blame this past on- people giving her attention because of her looks. If that was so very bad and difficult for her, and "not the way she wanted to live her life" then she would simply not have joined a tv show in the first place! So for me it seems like she's just trying to 'protect her own self image', covering, blaming everyone else for her 'faults', when she instead could've shown some strength and just been honest. And I think it's sad when a person is so insecure and left out that one needs to learn how to live!- by acting on a tv show, I would've challenged myself a bit more and tried out in the real world first!

good lord! the resident KK shrink is at it again.

"And I think it's sad when a person is so insecure and left out that one needs to learn how to live!- by acting on a tv show, I would've challenged myself a bit more and tried out in the real world first!"

see that's you and what you would do. why do you keep saying things that would apparently "make her happier" or a "better person" or whatever??? it's WHAT YOU WOULD DO!! YOU, not KK. you're not her she's not you.

you haven't walked in her shoes, you haven't been brought up the same way and in the same environment she was brought up in. all you know about her is what you see on tv and read in articles. you don't know her personally to actually make judgements and assumptions about how she lives her life and how she reacts to situations.

enough of your self righteous, know-it-all crap already!

Well someone! needs to help the poor girl out, and I'm entitled to my opinion. For instance it looks pretty bad when you state something like "I don't necessarily feel like having men come up on the street and tell me I'm hot or whistle. It's not really the way I want to lit my life" in a interview when at the same time you are a person who chose to live your life through a tv show, a tv movie, posing half naked not only once!, but several times in magazines etc. Such a statement doesn't do herself or people trying to understand her any good. In fact it makes her look even more hypocrite and quite frankly pretty stupid. Why don't make an effort in letting people get a chance to know and understand you, by being completely honest and just say "I'm a shy, insecure, frightened person, because I am and I want people to accept me for that" instead of trying to excuse it (like with her ethnicity). That would give people a chance to actually sympathize and understand her, at all.

KKabitfan.
It is clear now, that you are not a fan of Kristin, even though I know you will disagree with me and say that you do care about her, and just criticize every single thing she does, to help her.

Well anyway, your not a fan of her, and i bet you dont even like her. She may be shy, but insecure? No no no no, and not frightened either.
What she does to her self etc. is her own choices and responsibilities.
Thereby we got nothing to say, accept how she is and stop criticize every single thing she does, or have done.

so why waste this all consuming need to help KK and vast knowledge of yours here on this forum???

so apparently according to your infinite wisdom KK needs help, hmmm.... a life coach perhaps...then what are you wating for? get off this forum, go find her agent, fly to vancouver, look her up and knock on her door and help the poor girl. OH MY GOD! GO! GO NOW! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. YOU MIGHT BE HER ONLY HOPE. GOD WHAT WOULD SHE DO WITHOUT YOU?? you being a very well rounded individual and all. i mean like she's in such a bad state that she needs an all knowing stranger, with strong opinions to tell her how to live her life.

i don't know how you could actually help this poor, little KK by just stating your opinion on this forum. seriously what good will it do to her? all you've done is point out negative things about her?

you want to sincerely help her? really now. go be her shrink, her friend her counselor and give her you advice personally because so far all you've done here is "talk" and give your opinions. what good does that do to KK???

so far all you've accomplished is claim how much better of a person you are then she is.

Honestly reading this interview again I get the feeling that KK is a bit too obsessed with her own looks than in reality others are.Obviously she's realized she's a person who struggles,and because she did,was left out, disliked or whatever instead of looking towards and inside yourself you look around for someone/something else to point your finger at,when in reality you only have yourself to blame for all your problems. You must go within yourself first. I don't sympathize with this person when she tries to blame all her troubles, misery, problems including sv, her not so good acting, her ENTIRE LIFE only on: her looks! and peoples relationship with her looks! Look at yourself gd! maybe it was YOU the person KK that was the actual problem, not your looks. Really at the end of the day people won't bother surrounding themselves with crappy people who's only got 'the looks' anyway. Maybe if she stopped obsess so much about her looks for a sec and more about 'herself', people would too!

Oh you didn't get it? the obsession.. Here's the list: "I can't act because of my looks, people only focus on my looks then, still I chose only the roles that focus on my looks (Eurotrip, Edgemont, Lana, Snow white and oh everything else) I can't be myself/represent the asian population cause then people will only focus on my looks, my eurasian/asian looks and nothing else, I'm so afraid people won't see the inside when the only thing I obsess about is my outside, I had a bad childhood because.. my looks.. I.. I had nothing nothing to do with people not liking me, I don't want people to look.. because you know my looks but I pose so people can look anyway, hey I'm in a tv show, because I don't want people to look! I'm a model because.. I don't want people or myself to focus on my looks. Wow what a CURSE!

[makulit]

why thank you , dr. phil for that. now run along and share your wisdom with kk. let's ee how much help you'll be.

And that fear she talks about always goes a bit deeper than 'people look at me- fear' (huh?) You don't get that spooked with people looking at you because of how you look (which is pretty normal btw, people looking at people because of.. how they look) which means acceptance not rejection, leading to comfort and self confidence not fear. And when KK wasn't accepted or liked in school, but rather uncomfortable, insecure with lacking confidende we all know THAT'S what the fear is really about 'afraid of being yourself- fear', because you've learned 'that's not good enough'. She's in the other line of actors who need to do it not for the passion but for themselves and their own needs in getting that acceptance, approval and attention they never got in the past, which makes their acting suck. She'd be so much better off if she realized that you can never truly get that on screen, ended that self torture of acting, and went on with environmental studies, eating!, reading books or whatever.

[hoppi]

bla bla. go somewhere else.
and USE LINEBREAKS, for god's sake.

And seriously you cannot blame all your life-problems on 'it was because people looked at me in third grade', (??) 'people did this that'. Really the real problem starts within yourself! I still think deep rooted issues like her mixed heritage is WHY she struggled. She couldn't truly accept herself, then neither could others. When you can't accept yourself and be truly happy with who you are people won't find your person very attractive neither, and automatically chose to only look and not bother going any further. And when you lack that self confidence and don't believe in yourself, ofcourse you'll do the easiest thing, hide. Leading to the 'self hate'- repressing ethnicity issues, eating disorder, being insecure, cold,being that person people find it hard to interact with. It's all pretty obvious, and if she could allow herself to see that, that SHE might be the problem not everything or everyone else, she'd be a totally different person with so much more to offer on screen and off.
